There must still be other inheritances and treasures left behind by Tianmu Shenjun within this world. I have only obtained the Formation inheritance. We need to speed up from now on and see if we can find more inheritances and treasures," Ye Yunfei said.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei increased his speed and charged toward other areas.
"Master, have you noticed that ever since we entered this world, every time we find treasures or inheritances, that Senior will be somewhere nearby?"
Just then, Hu Miao suddenly spoke up.
"That's right. When we obtained those Heavenly Dragon Fish, that Senior was nearby. When we harvested those Sovereign God-level medicinal herbs, he was also nearby. And when I obtained the Formation inheritance, it was under the guidance of that Senior as well. Could it be that the treasures and inheritances left by Tianmu Shenjun are all located where that Senior appears?"
Hearing Hu Miao's words, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but pause his steps.
"Previously, whenever I encountered that Senior, I would always change my route and intentionally avoid him. But thinking about it now, perhaps our previous approach was wrong. Wherever that Senior appears might conceal some precious treasures or inheritances," Ye Yunfei said solemnly.
As Ye Yunfei spoke these words, in a certain location nearby, an elderly man hidden within space revealed an appreciative smile.
"This young man isn't bad," the elder said with a smile.
"So that means from now on, instead of running around blindly like headless flies in this world, we should specifically search for treasures at the locations where that Senior appears."
At this moment, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, having heard Ye Yunfei's words, couldn't help but let his eyes gleam as he added.
"Good, let's try this method immediately," Ye Yunfei said.
After speaking, Ye Yunfei immediately increased his speed. This time, Ye Yunfei specifically looked for the old man's figure. Not long after, Ye Yunfei spotted the figure of that old man once again, this time on a distant mountain peak.
Many fruit trees were planted on that mountain slope. From afar, countless golden fruits hung from the trees. One could already smell the enticing fragrance of the fruit from a great distance away.
"It looks like an orchard," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said, looking at the tempting fruits covering the distant mountain.
"Yes, that should indeed be an orchard," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Those fruits don't seem ordinary. If I'm not mistaken, they must be extremely rare treasures," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's gaze was fixed on the golden fruits on the distant mountain peak. Smelling the fruit fragrance wafting with the wind, he almost drooled.
"Then let's go over quickly and take a look," Ye Yunfei immediately charged toward the distant mountain peak.
If this were before, Ye Yunfei encountering this old man might have taken the initiative to avoid him, not wanting to cause offense. But now, Ye Yunfei directly charged straight over.
Soon, Ye Yunfei arrived atop the mountain peak.
The entire mountain was an orchard. That old man was busy working within the orchard. A large bamboo basket was placed beside him, already containing quite a few golden fruits.
However, at this moment, the old man was not picking fruits. Instead, he was pruning the branches and leaves of a fruit tree.
"What kind of fruits are these? Each fruit seems to contain astonishing energy."
Having arrived on the mountain peak and observing the golden fruits up close, Ye Yunfei immediately sensed that each fruit seemed to contain astonishing energy.
"Hun Lao, can you recognize the origins of these fruits?" Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission to Hun Lao, asking.
"I can't recognize the origins of these fruits for now either, but they are definitely priceless treasures," Hun Lao replied.
"No matter, let's pick them first."
Ye Yunfei stood beside a fruit, smelling the rich fruit fragrance, and spoke.
Then Ye Yunfei began to pick the fruits. At the same time, Ye Yunfei continuously kept an eye on the old man on the nearby slope. To his relief, the old man remained focused on pruning the tree's branches and leaves, not even glancing in Ye Yunfei's direction.
"So it's true, wherever this Senior appears, there are treasures. What are we waiting for? Let's not be polite!"
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transformed into a golden streak of light and unceremoniously charged toward another nearby fruit tree.
At the same time, Hu Miao and Huang Shang also emerged and began to act. With several of them working together, in just a short moment, all the fruits from over a dozen fruit trees were picked clean.
"Master, from a distance earlier, we thought this mountain peak was entirely covered with these fruit trees. But only after arriving here did we discover that only fifteen fruit trees on this mountain are real. All the other trees are illusory. The fruit tree that Senior is currently pruning is also an illusion."
Not long after, Hu Miao sent a sound transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed. Only fifteen fruit trees on this mountain are real; the rest are mere projections," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Even if only fifteen trees are real, we've struck it rich. Each of these fruits contains astonishing Divine Power energy. I estimate that even if a Sovereign God exhausts all his energy, eating just one of these fruits would instantly restore him to peak condition. So these fruits definitely have the effect of rapidly replenishing Divine Power energy."
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm opened his mouth to speak. During the process of picking the fruits, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't resist eating one.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm clan were Ancient Era relic beasts, naturally gifted, and their physical quality was also extremely robust. Therefore, Ye Yunfei did not stop him from eating these fruits.
Ye Yunfei believed that with his own alchemy skills, even if Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm truly encountered some mishap after eating the fruit, he could quickly rescue him. Generally speaking, alchemists were proficient in medicine, as the pills they refined themselves inherently had the function of healing and saving lives.
After eating a fruit, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's entire body emitted waves of dense Divine Power energy fluctuations. Gleaming halos of light sprayed out from his form, illuminating a large area of space around him, creating a rather dazzling sight.
"I think I already know the name of this fruit," Hun Lao suddenly spoke at this moment.
"Oh? What fruit is this?" Ye Yunfei was very curious and asked immediately.
"This is the Five Elements Divine Tree! The fruit of the Five Elements Divine Tree contains Divine Power energy of five attributes. Moreover, the trunk of the Five Elements Divine Tree is a top-tier material for refining artifacts. The trunk of the Five Elements Divine Tree is composed of five distinct materials: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Internally, the Five Elements generate and restrict each other, forming a perfect cycle, perpetual and eternal. In ancient times, no matter what type of magical artifact those master refiners were forging, they could incorporate the trunk of the Five Elements Divine Tree. After incorporating it, the resulting artifact would become more durable and resilient. Even if stored for an age, it would not easily deteriorate. However, even in ancient times, the Five Elements Divine Tree was a relatively rare divine tree. To have fifteen of them here is truly astonishing."
Hun Lao spoke, his voice filled with amazement.
"Five Elements Divine Tree? No wonder the fruit I just ate was not only delicious but also contained Divine Power energy that was both immense and gentle, giving me a feeling of peace and stability. Those Divine Power energies within the fruit flowed slowly inside my body, making me feel my form was supremely balanced and at peace. In the end, all the energy contained within the fruit was absorbed by me, without a single bit wasted. I surmise that's because the energy inside this Five Elements Divine Fruit exists in a state of perfect balance, making it extremely easy to absorb. I barely needed to consciously refine it. In the midst of battle, if one exhausts their energy, using these Five Elements Divine Fruits to replenish it would be the best choice. Even if one is severely injured or physically weak, they could withstand the vast yet gentle energy within these fruits. There's no need to worry about having too much energy and risking bodily explosion."
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, having listened to Hun Lao's words, immediately spoke.
"Correct. Replenishing expended energy is one of the functions of the Five Elements Divine Fruit. Compared to some divine pills specifically used for replenishing Divine Power, the energy within the Five Elements Divine Fruit is extremely balanced and won't cause any harm to the physical body. Even if consumed while in a very weakened state, there is no risk of the body exploding from overload. Hence, they were more popular. In ancient times, these Five Elements Divine Fruits were more valuable than many divine pills," Hun Lao said.
"So, these Five Elements Divine Trees are top-tier forging materials. Since we have fifteen here, we must not waste them."
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's gaze turned toward the fifteen Five Elements Divine Trees on the mountain peak.
"These Five Elements Divine Trees were likely planted here by Tianmu Shenjun. If we dig up all fifteen, might we provoke Tianmu Shenjun's wrath?"
Ye Yunfei glanced at the old man who was busy beside an illusory Five Elements Divine Tree on the slope not far away and spoke with a hint of hesitation.
"Do not worry. Even in ancient times, every creature exploring and treasure hunting would dig up a Five Elements Divine Tree upon encountering one. Since Tianmu Shenjun allowed you to approach these trees, he likely permits you to take them. The trunks of these Five Elements Divine Trees are indeed top-tier materials for artifact refinement. Incorporating a few trees into your longsword will surely make the sword sharper and harder."
Just as Ye Yunfei was hesitating, he suddenly received a sound transmission from Sword Elder.
"Very well, Master Patriarch. I will dig up these Five Elements Divine Trees immediately."
After receiving Sword Elder's sound transmission, Ye Yunfei immediately replied.
Sword Elder was a top-tier Sword Cultivator renowned in the Sword Realm during the ancient times, and he had been the Patriarch of the ancient Tianjian Sect. He was definitely well-traveled and knowledgeable. If he said these Five Elements Divine Trees could be taken, then it was certainly true.
Ye Yunfei immediately unsheathed his longsword, approached a Five Elements Divine Tree, and began to swing the sword to dig it up. The longsword was exceptionally sharp, forged personally by Sword Elder as a first-rate sword. Using it to dig up trees was effortless.
Soon, Ye Yunfei dug up this Five Elements Divine Tree by the roots. Then Ye Yunfei glanced at the old man on the slope not far away and discovered the old man showed no reaction. At last, he felt reassured.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei began digging up the other Five Elements Divine Trees. Not long after, Ye Yunfei had dug up all fifteen trees.
"I will now refine five trees into this longsword, elevating its grade by another level. Long ago, I once obtained three Five Elements Divine Trees and refined them into a treasured sword. That sword was one of the most famous swords in our ancient Tianjian Sect. I never imagined you would now obtain over ten trees. Such an opportunity, even in ancient times, is something few could match."
After Ye Yunfei dug up all the Divine Trees, Sword Elder's sound transmission once again echoed within Ye Yunfei's soul sea.
"Very well, Master Patriarch," Ye Yunfei immediately agreed and then delivered five Five Elements Divine Trees next to the longsword.
